    THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”), OR UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS.  THIS WARRANT AND ANY OF SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED
FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

     

    WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF

    COMMON
STOCK OF OMNIMMUNE CORP.

     

    1.           Grant
of Warrant.  Omnimmune Corp., a Texas corporation (the
“Company”), hereby agrees that Francis E. McDaniel, a resident of the State of
Georgia (the “Holder”), in consideration for his having extended Company
substantial sums of credit, is entitled, subject to the provisions of this
Warrant, to purchase from the Company, up to [_____________] ([_____]) shares of
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Stock”) at a
price as provided in Section 4 below (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Holder”
as used herein shall include any transferee to whom this Warrant has been
transferred in accordance with this Warrant.

     

    The term
“Common Stock” means the Common Stock, $0.01 value per share, of the Company as
constituted on the date hereof, together with any other equity securities that
may be issued by the Company in substitution therefor.  The number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant may be
adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.  The term
“Company” means and includes the Company as well as any successor corporation
resulting from the merger or consolidation of such corporation with another
corporation.

     

    2.           Exercise
of Warrant.  This Warrant may be exercised, as to the whole or
any lesser number of whole shares of Warrant Stock, at any time during the
period commencing on the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the date on which
the Company or any successor thereto becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or (ii) two (2) years from the date of issuance, and expiring
at 5:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, upon and coincident with the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the date on which the Warrant becomes exercisable (such date
referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”). This
Warrant shall expire if not properly exercised in full by the Expiration
Date.

     

    The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by presentation and surrender of this Warrant
to the Company prior to the Expiration Date at its principal office in Houston,
Texas, or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Notice of
Exercise attached hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in
cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the
Company) of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Warrant
Stock specified in such form.

     

    In lieu
of the payment of the Exercise Price, Holder may require the Company to convert
this Warrant, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock as provided
herein (“cashless exercise”).  In order to require the cashless
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender to the Company this Warrant
with the Notice of Exercise at the end hereof duly completed and
executed.  Upon such cashless exercise, the Company shall deliver to
Holder (without payment by Holder of any of the Exercise Price) that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value
of this Warrant (or portion thereof if being exercised in part) at the time of
the cashless exercise (determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of
the shares of Warrant Stock as to which the Warrant is being exercised in effect
immediately prior to the cashless exercise from the aggregate Current Market
Price (as defined below) of the shares of Warrant Stock as to which the Warrant
is being exercised immediately prior to the cashless exercise) by (y) the
Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to the
cashless exercise.

     

    For the
purposes of any computation hereunder, the term “Current Market Price” per share
of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
closing prices for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
date in question.  The closing price for each day shall be the last
reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day,
the closing bid price, in either case on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange, the highest reported bid price for the Common Stock as furnished by
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq or a similar
organization if Nasdaq is no longer reporting such information.  If on
any such date the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange and is not quoted by Nasdaq or any similar
organization, the fair value of a share of Common Stock on such date, as
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, shall be
used.

     

    Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant, together with payment in the amount of
the Exercise Price or a notice of cashless exercise as set forth above, at its
principal office in Houston, Texas, or by the stock transfer agent of the
Company at such agent’s office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company
shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.  As soon as
practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue
and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock
issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder.  If
this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender
of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing
the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Stock subject to
purchase hereunder.

     

    3.           Transfer
of Warrant.  Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise
in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant
register (the “Warrant Register”) as they are issued.  The Company
shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant
Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the
part of any other person.  This Warrant shall be transferable on the
books of the Company only upon delivery hereof with the Form of Assignment at
the attached duly completed and executed by the Holder or by his or its duly
authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer.  In all cases of
transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian or other legal
representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be
produced.  Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall
deliver a new Warrant to the person entitled thereto.  This Warrant
may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder hereof, for another Warrant, or
other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Warrant Stock, upon
surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause this Warrant to be
transferred on its books to any person, or Warrant Stock to be issued, if, in
the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer or issuance does not comply
with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and any
applicable state securities laws (“Blue Sky Laws”).

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4.           Exercise
Price.  Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 6 hereof,
the exercise price per share of Warrant Stock (the “Exercise Price”) shall be
[_________].

     

    5.           Reservation
of Shares.  The Company will at all times reserve for issuance
and delivery all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant.  All such shares shall be duly authorized and, if issued in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.  No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional shares or scrip, the Company shall
pay the Holder an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by
such fraction of a share otherwise called for upon any exercise of this
Warrant.

     

    6.           Adjustments.

     

    (a)           Capital
Adjustments.  In case the Company shall at any time after the
date this Warrant is issued: (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common
Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding
Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then, in each case, the Exercise Price in effect, and the
number of shares of Warrant Stock, at the time of the record date for such
dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holders of the Warrant shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares, for the same aggregate Exercise
Price as in effect immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision or
combination, which, if such Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to
such time, such holders would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to
receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, or combination.  Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur.  Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at
the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination
becomes effective.

     

    (b)           Mergers,
Consolidations or Sale of Assets.  If the Company is a party to
a reorganization (other than as provided for herein), or a merger or
consolidation with or into another corporation, or the sale of the Company’s
properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person,
then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that this
Warrant shall pertain and apply to the securities and/or other property to which
the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then covered
by this Warrant would have been entitled had this Warrant been exercised in
whole immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall
be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder after the reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be
applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any
securities or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this
Warrant. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental
agreement between the Company, or any successor thereto, and the Holder and
shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate
adjustment.  The Company shall not effect any such reorganization,
merger, consolidation or sale unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof
the successor corporation, or if the Company shall be the surviving corporation
and is not the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to
be delivered to holders of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the
effective time thereof, then such issuer, shall assume by written instrument the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or
other property as the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with
the foregoing provisions.

     

    (c)           Notice
to Holder of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of shares of
Warrant Stock or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice (i) stating that the number of
shares of Warrant Stock have been adjusted, (ii) setting forth the adjusted
number of shares of Warrant Stock, (iii) the Exercise Price, as adjusted, and
(iv) showing in reasonable detail the computations and the facts, including the
amount of consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company,
upon which such adjustments are based.

     

    (d)           All
calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
nearest share, as the case may be; provided, however that, no adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.01; and
provided, further, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6 are
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.

     

    7.           Securities
Law Matters; Restrictions on Transfer.

     

    (a)           Investment
Intent Only. This
Warrant will be acquired for Holder’s own account, for investment and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).  Holder has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation or interest in, or otherwise distributing,
transferring or disposing of this Warrant.

     

    (b)           Accredited
Holder.  Holder (a) is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Holder’s prospective
investment in the Warrant; (b) has the ability to bear the economic risks of
such Holder’s prospective investment, including a complete loss of Holder’s
investment in the Warrant; (c) has not been offered the Warrant by any form of
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or
any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any such media; (d)
has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from representatives
of the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Warrant and the
condition of the Company’s business, including, without limitation, its
financial condition; and (e) acknowledges that Holder has conducted its own due
diligence with respect to the Company, the Warrant and any other matter which
Holder believes to be material to a decision to lend and further acknowledges
that Holder is making its investment decision based on this due
diligence.

    (c)           Compliance
with Laws.  Holder acknowledges compliance with the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, also known as the “USA PATRIOT
Act.”  Additionally, Holder represents that neither it nor any of its
principal owners, partners, members, directors or officers are included on: (i)
the Office of Foreign Assets Control list of foreign nations, organizations and
individuals subject to economic and trade sanctions, based on United States
foreign policy and national security goals; (ii) Executive Order 13224, which
sets forth a list of individuals and groups with whom United States persons are
prohibited from doing business because such individuals and groups have been
identified as terrorists or persons who support terrorism or (iii) any other
watch list issued by any governmental authority, including the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

     

    (d)           No
Registration; Legend.  Holder acknowledges that (a) neither the
Warrant nor any securities obtainable upon conversion or payment thereof have
been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or
other jurisdiction in reliance upon exemptions from such registration
requirements for non-public offerings and (b) the Company is under no
obligation to register the Warrant or securities obtainable upon exercise hereof
under the Securities Act or any securities laws of any state or take any action
to make any exemption from such registration provisions
available.  Such Holder acknowledges the Warrant and any securities
obtainable upon exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available.  Holder understands that no public market now exists for
any of the securities issued by the Company hereunder and that there is no
assurance that a public market will ever exist for such
securities.  Holder agrees to the imprinting, so long as required by
law, of a legend on this Warrant and the Warrant Stock should the Warrant be
exercised in the following form or one similar to it.

     

    THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, BUT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY
THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF FOR PURPOSES OF INVESTMENT AND IN RELIANCE ON
STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, EXCEPT IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT THEREUNDER;
AND IN THE CASE OF AN EXEMPTION, ONLY IF THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT
REQUIRE REGISTRATION OF ANY SUCH SECURITIES.

    10.         Lost

evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant and, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor and date.  The Holder agrees with the Company that this
Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held subject to, all of
the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
